Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbour is the holiest object presented to your senses. And our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner-no mere tolerance, or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously-no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit-immortal horrors or everlasting splendours.

Like my boys, I still wake up with fears, concerns, thoughts that are out of control. It still takes me a while to fall asleep at times. To climb up into his arms, take a deep breath, and know we are safe, as long as we are with him. I wonder if that means we need to trust God like my sons trust me. Jesus calls us to have faith like a child. Once they feel that security-that safety, the fact that dad is present-they are fine. When they wake up crying, all they need to calm down is a minute or two in my arms. Other times it’s a monster in the closet (that turns out to be a blanket). But every once in a while, they wake up in the middle of the night scared. ![]() Moses is two, with bright eyes and a wide smile. ![]()
